http://volteface.me/features/great-war-cocaine-panic/ The richer soldiers, mostly officers, were having things like "patent medicines" sent out from home. "In a December 1915 edition of the Times Savory & Moore advertised a small mail-order medical kit in a handy case containing, among other items, cocaine and heroin. And Harrods offered small packages of morphine and cocaine complete with syringe and spare needles, which was recommended as “A Useful Present for Friends at the Front.” Girls often brought to the train station a cocaine kit as an ideal gift for their loved ones leaving for war. Despite itself advertising cocaine products, the Times, like most other papers, created alarm by suggesting that supplying soldiers with this drug would inevitably undermine the combat effectiveness of the British Army." I believe that this topic was frequently mentioned in Alf Peacock's "Gunfire" magazine.

Just out of curiosity, giving the fact that 2 years have passed since this teme emerged on, what do you believe was the most significant thing: the fact that a Sikh soldier became the first to wear a turban at trooping the color or the fact that first Sikh turban-wearing guardsman fails drugs test? I think we should not be very harsh with this guy, because in contrast to our ability to get cannabis-related products from websites like 2one2dispensary.com, his products grow naturally everywhere in his country, so it is hard to refrain from using it.
